Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 35 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

e of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

0.45 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The flow rate of the gravel, \frac{dV}{dt} = 35 \frac{ft^3}{min}

- The base diameter ( d ) of cone = x

- The height ( h ) of cone = x

Find:-

How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high?

Solution:-

- The constant flow rate of gravel dumped onto the conveyor belt is given to be 35 ft^3 / min.

- The gravel pile up into a heap of a conical shape such that base diameter ( d ) and the height ( h ) always remain the same. That is these parameter increase at the same rate.

- We develop a function of volume ( V ) of the heap piled up on conveyor belt in a conical shape as follows:

                                V = \frac{\pi }{12}*d^2*h\\\\V = \frac{\pi }{12}*x^3

- Now we know that the volume ( V ) is a function of its base diameter and height ( x ). Where x is an implicit function of time ( t ). We will develop a rate of change expression of the volume of gravel piled as follows Use the chain rule of ordinary derivatives:

                               \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dx}  * \frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi }{4} x^2 * \frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{\frac{dV}{dt}}{\frac{\pi }{4} x^2}

- Determine the rate of change of height ( h ) using the relation developed above when height is 10 ft:

                              h = x\\\\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{35 \frac{ft^3}{min} }{\frac{\pi }{4}*10^2 ft^2 }   \\\\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt} = 0.45 \frac{ft}{min}

A) what slope does this line have?
inn [45]

Answer:

The slope is a positive linear slope

The slope is 2

The y-intercept is -4

The equation of this line would be: y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b format

m = slope

b = y-intercept

and x and y are the x and y components

OLga [1]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

(58+88+80+70+ x)/5=75

75*5=296x

375=296x

x=375-296

x=79

What is the total surface area of the rectangular pyramid whose net is shown?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

95 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of the rectangular pyramid = 4(area of triangle) + area of rectangle

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

base = 5 in.

height = 7 in.

Area of triangle = ½*5*7 = 17.5 in.²

Area of rectangle = Length*width = 5*5 = 25 in.²

Plug in the values

Total surface area of the rectangular pyramid = 4(17.5) + 25

= 95 in.²

How would you convince a fellow student that the number 0.57 is a rational number? (5+ sentences please) Please help me with thi
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:  0.57 = 57/100 this means it has to be rational.

Explanation: You have to explain to them that any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. An integer can be written as a fraction simply by giving it a denominator of one, so any integer is a rational number.
